that's an FV107 Scmitar
Scimitar has a longer slimmer barrel on a cradle. The thicker shorter barrel with no cradle is the Scorpion (basically the only difference is the gun).

Holy moly!! Look at the size of those bad boyz....put them on a carousel have the kids of 40k fans ride on them How long did they take to build?
I hate to think....
No tank can protect itself from high-performance Russian weapons. Challenger 2 is no miracle.
Agreed no tank is invulnerable from top end weapons of any nation but these are comparatively rare on the battlefield. A Challenger 2 in Iraq sustained 29 RPG hits for example. Just as weapons evolve so does armour. It is worth noting that the Ukrainians have added Kontact armour to the Challenger 2 to help.
That's my uncle
Be gave a great presentation
Cant wait for The Black Madonna!
It's nearly ready to film and there will be a surprise to go with it...
Walkers character is not included in this board game
I'm guessing it was after James Beck's death
Fascinating!
Glad you found it interesting
10 hours straight of combat operation out of Whippet is as impressive as what the crew pulled off.
I found it fascinating that they planned extended operations with the extra stores carried.
Does not sound factual at all. 1 question, how much Hollywood ammunition were they carrying? Reminds me of WW1 British lies about blowing up Messines you said you killed 10,000 Germans but there was only a regiment there.
It's a fair comment. The loading was 5400 rounds carried internally but I suspect extra was carried outside on the roof (this extra stowage was the source of the fuel that leaked). I suspect this external ammo could be the real reason for the dismounting when they counted the bodies. The incident is quite well documented and nobody has called it into doubt at the time.
Thank you for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good ol' cats, always trying to steal the show. Her meow when you called her out on that was like 'you bet I am.'
He's getting less active now but still ok
That webing looks original
There was a lot of it around a few years ago so it could well be.
@@jameslangham9854 awesome
How did you do THAT in two hours?
It's a lot simpler than it looks
Start by cutting the RVA foam into blocks and then build like a real building. Base coat, dry brush then add PVA soaked lichen.
The Troupe reminds me of Reign of Fire, especially with the Star Wars Trilogy included in their repertoire. That was thematically one of the best bits of that movie so it's a welcome inclusion :)
I knew I had come across it somewhere! Thanks for reminding me.
Good review mate. I'm thinking of getting this module too. Though I have the 1st edition PotV module.
Thanks, glad you found it useful.
Sorry to say I checked out when you confirmed it was a retread of PotV. If they can't create something new and unique, they aren't going to get my money, especially when I have the originals on the bookcase.
Fully get that. There is substantial new material though (plus bits from two other modules). I do feel it was worth the money.
they can't win really can they? They don't put it out, they get a barrage of complaints they're overlooking a huge part of the original game...
Given physical copies of v1 material is expensive I can see the benefit of a new edition. They have tried hard to include extra info.
@@jameslangham9854 For me, it comes down to economics; money is tight and I just don't see $20 worth of return on investment. Especially when someone new can get everything printed for v.1 (rules, modules, supplements) for $35 direct from Far Future.
@@andrewdickinson1041 Possibly...but I think that with cheap PDFs being available and the target market being on the back half of life that already has the original materials, I would think that something original would be offered. Perhaps something coastal if they wanted to go boating?
Umm, could you give a transcript of what you said in the first 30 seconds? I couldn't hear half of it for the music. (I assume that music was supposed to run from 0:30-0:45 as the intro played)
To be honest not a lot that's significant, just that it's an update of the Pirates of the Vistula and asking is it time to put an eye patch on like a pirate.
Excellent … tho I would have made Farage the Dark Lord, BJ his clown minion
The Churchill crocodile with flamethrower was a beast too.
I persuaded Neil to do a talk on that too (it's published 29th Sept but is available to Patreons and Supporters now).
Look at that beast!
The Lad is sappers
I believe Royal Warwickshire Regoment
It's possible we're not looking at a Lewis-gun, but some form of shroud to contain one. Or a non-original machine-gun-like addition. I need to look into this further.There's a link to a film about the Northover: ua-cam.com/video/hBFDYQ49doM/v-deo.html
Anything is possible but it fits the Lewis profile and has a Lewis sight (worth noting is was visiting with Neil Grant, the author of the Osprey in the Lewis who agreed that was what it was). My thoughts is that either it was a local modification with the lack of Bren Guns (a decent chance as witnessed by the Noel Coward song "Won't You Please Oblige Us With a Bren Gun") or something the museum added in error. Thanks for the link.
The FM24/29 is truly an incredible machine gun. Not only is it highly reliable, but it also has a very smart design. This video is really informative and engaging. Looking forward to more videos on other weapons!
Glad you liked, we also filmed a video on the Mas38 and a double on the Mat49 and Hodgkiss Universal. Patrons and members already have access.
That's not a Lewis gum, it's a spigot-mortar weapon, called a "Northover projector", which after Dunkirk, briefly became the anti-tank weapons in 1940, until more orthodox 2pde and 6 pdr weapons could be built.
I'm not convinced as the barrel has the stepped profile of the Lewis and the sight is definitely a Lewis AA sight rather than the small ring at the front of the Northover. I've not come across the Northover being fitted to vehicles (other than motorcycle sidecars) and would welcome any info on that as it's a weapon I plan a video on in the future. I would have thought the black powder smoke would have made it a nightmare inside (although I could see it used in the open turret versions of the Beaverette).
@@jameslangham9854 I didn't have a picture of the Northover to hand, but I believe that's what it is. I have seen some pictures of Northover's mounted on extemporised vehicles, invariably manned by the LDV/Home Guard in the aftermath of 1940. Usually they were meant to be dismounted to fire. My own father was 17 at the time, and I have a picture of him blowing up home-made gun-powder in July of 1940 in my gran's garden, in case Jerry got across the Channel. He and his brother detonated larger ones (as teenagers have always done) until a particularly one set the local sirens off. A collision with authority followed, and the magistrate let them off provided they ceased their experiments and joined up without delay, "*before someone gets hurt*" My uncle maintains that he "led astray by bad companions" and that the magistrate could not suppress a smile as he delivered the "before someone gets hurt" line!
I'm not saying it isn't but the barrel profile is clearly wrong with the muzzle end tapering. Makes sense with it as dismountable. Family stories are a great source of info.
Your 9th viewer
For some videos that takes forever! Lol
I think it's a lovely little gun.
It's certainly different, something used by the SS always strikes me as unlovable. Much as I love solid stocks instead of folding, I'm not sure the weight gain here justifies it. Also as I'm primarily used to pistol grips it's not ideal for me. I would like to get my hands on one though.
Just found your channel, this is great! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, there's at least another Traveller video in the pipeline.
@@jameslangham9854 great! I actually found you through the Cold War Goes Hot as I just took delivery of the Twilight2K core box. I have always wanted to play it and the FL version looks incredible! So I lurked for the Twilight content but Traveller is my weakeness!
You will be pleased to hear reviews of Hostile Waters and the Black Madonna are getting close to filming
Why talk with that backround noise? Your voice gets lost..
I love the packages of Vietnam era bandages.
Fascinating to see, took some work for her to find it all.
Background noise almost as loud as the commentary.
Kurt Knispel was passed over for promotion and failed to receive additional medals because while waiting for their new tanks to be shipped across Poland he and another man came across an SS guard beating a Soviet POW at the Krakow railway station. They, in turn, beat the SS man and were jailed. Luckily for him, the tanks arrived a couple days later and they were released to re-join their unit. But as a consequence, his achievements on the battlefield were deliberately ignored. Tragically he was killed in the last days of the war in Czechoslovakia.
Sounds a fascinating character.
It’s not Whittmann, it’s Wittmann. 🙂
Thanks, corrected.
H'whittmann.. hehh
Call him what he is: a pre-war SS member and card carrying Nazi.
Fully agree
very poor video for effect.
The difficulty of shooting a short and then realising I had WAY to much to say and having to slow if down too much.
@@jameslangham9854 then pull the video as crap and produce a new one.
Until the tiger 2P entered the chat. 180mm of armour. they were gas powered and could have the engine bay burnt out by a Molotov. Or run out of gas. 76 would have had to shoot specific areas to penetrate it
Very true but this was being considered with the 90mm gun of the M136 and M26 with HVAP ammo. Also given the rarity of the Tiger II this wasn't a huge problem.
Was this filmed with a Nokia 3310?
Filmed with my camera phone for a short where the quality would be adequate, unfortunately I had so much to say I had to slow it down far more than I should have
국가별 시기별 여러탱크 나오네
These are just a selection of their tanks, the collection is extensive.
전차박물관 어디냐
It is in Bovington, Dorset, England. They also have an excellent UA-cam channel that is well worth following.
Is that a battlefield obscurant vehicle, or did you just blow a head gasket???
Lol, if you look carefully there are smoke grenades outside the vehicles being used for the red, white and blue effect
Probably my favourite tank ever behind the T-55, incredibly versatile, ubiquitous, easy enough to maintain, abundance of spare parts and ammunition, it just works
It certainly met the design criteria for a mobilization only tank to be produced in vast numbers. I would regard it's biggest weakness as the autoloader not for the speed (improved on later models) but for the reduction in crew making field maintenance harder (especially in command vehicles where the commander gets called away to meetings).
Outstanding! Looking forward to your discussions of the other four Poland Campaign modules. Keep 'em coming, please.
Thank you, just waiting for them to arrive....
Delicious biscuits?
They do feature a lot in our games ...
James, great video! Thanks! Also, I appreciated the Morrow Project reference. I always loved that game.
Thank you
Wow, this looks like a great deal!
That was my thought, it was one of those gambles that paid off
